The Ray will case is still before the
court. The examinations of testimony
was concluded yesterday, and the argu-
ments of counsel begun. About fifty
witnesses in all were examined. The
counsel on the part of the propounders
are Messrs. ]. NJ. Gudger, w. H. Malone,
J. S. McElroy and VIM. M. Moore; on
the part of the caveators NJ E. Carter
and J. 8. Adams.
Four physicians, medisAl experts, viz !:
Drs. Wilmington, Rairf6 Penlaud and
HiIliard, were examined in relation to
the mental condition of the testator.
The important question was whether he
was sane at the time of making his will
or whether he was unduly influenced in
directing the provisions thereof
The caveators allege that his mind was
diseased from drink and other causes;
and that he was unduly Influenced by
M. B. Ray.
The will was made in September 1879.
The testator died March 1888 NJ. B.
Ray propounded the will in Yancey
county. A Caveat was entered thea.
The case was tried and given to the jury,
but while it was out two of the jury were
alleged TO have become drunk, and the
whole were discharged. At subsequent
term of the court, a removal to Buncombe
was obtained on the ground that fair
trial could not be had in Yancey.

New YORK, March 2O.-Among
other utterances by Rev. Robert
Colyer, in the course of a sermon to.
day upon Henry Ward Beecher, al
the Church of the Messiah, were
these: "Since the death of Luther,
BAL years ago, the death of no man
in sacred Office has so touched the
h carts of the nations. Though he
was "a years of age, no man looked
upon him as old. He was the great
leader of the American pulpit, ind
no one in his age, save the grand
old man in England, had so much
enthusiasm, courage and ability for
the work he had to do. His theolo.
gy was bread as the world itself. 1t
was not theology bound with an
iron band. such as they would bind
on at Princeton and -Andover. That
is all we'll enough for those who
love such bondage. Because Beecher
was not bound with bonds made by
man, and because of his humanity
all these years. thank God that he
was not II systematic theologian,
but just the great, free reasoner we
knew him to be. He needed the
whole republic first for his growth.
and, then 1.-THE whole earth for s
ripening. He was not of flower pol

The strongest man they could nominate

his defeat the ex senator remarked, "I

election" "Allison, suppose" said the
reporter IF so he will be elected" was
emphatic reply of the democratic ex-
senator. "Whar is the outlook for the

The new alliance between Ger
many, Austria and Italy must be
considered one of the most import
ant of recent political events in Eu-
rope. Its formal consummation
seems to be :signalized by the decos
ration of Count di Robilant with the
Prussian Order of the Black Eagle,
which is set down as one of the
leading ceremonies at Berlin for
Tuesday, the Emperor's birthday.
The report that Austria also will
confer a decoration on the Italian
foreign minister, under whose ad-
ministration this treaty has been ef-
fected, additionally indicates that the
alliance is an accomplished fact. 1t
would therefore appear that Prince
Bismarck took care te have two
strings to his bow and while his
friendly words to Russia during the
Septenate bill debate led all the
quidnuncs to wonder whether he
had not permanently detached Rus
sia from France by forming a league
between the Gar and Germany he
must already have been planning
this new triple allianceof quite an
other sort. It is obvious that the
leogue between the three powers
would more than counter balance
any dangers felt from a Franco-Rus-
sian alliance, especially as other ma.
tions in Europe could probably be
relied upon to support it if neces-
sary. On the whole, it is fair to
presume that thenew triple alliance
is formed in the interests ofEurope-
an peace, possibly conditioned, how
ever, on Germsny's having her
own way

lhe reduction OF Internal revenue and the
taking Oh OF revenue stamps from proprietary
medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, as well as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's August flower and Boschee's
German syrup, as tue reduction Of thirty six
cents per dozen, has been added to Increase
the size OF the bottles containing these reme
dies, thereby giving one-third more medicine
In the 76 cent size. The August Flower for
dyspepsia and liver comp aint and the German
syrup for cough and lung troubles, have per-
haps, the largest sale Of any medicines In the
world. The advantage oflncreased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, In every town and Village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain tho sauna size.
